Photography by Amira Fritz


Amira Fritz was born in 1979 in Rosenheim, Germany. She grew up in the countryside and moved to Vienna to study photography. She graduated in 2002 from the Höhere Graphische Bundes Lehr und Versuchsanstalt Wien. During her time in Vienna she was the assistant of the photographer Reiner Riedler and worked as a film projectionist, which was particularly influential in her photographic work. At the end of 2002 Fritz travelled through South Africa for six months. She moved to Berlin and ceased all photographic work for four years, studying mathematics and working again as a film projectionist. She rediscovered her roots, both personal and photographic, when she revisited her family. Spaziergang im Käferwald, which was completed in 2007, is the result of that period of her life.




Fritz went to Paris and applied for the Hyères Festival International de Mode et de Photographie in 2008 with her body of work and won the Mention spécial du Jury. Her subsequent photographic collaboration with Matthew Cunnington and John Sanderson, the Hyères fashion winners from that year, resulted in the unusual fashion series Entre Chien et Loup. In 2009 she showed the work Au Coeur de l’Avalanche at the Galerie d’actualité in the Villa Noailles in Hyères.

Photography by Felix R. Cid


The Photographs of Felix R. Cid reveal a certain part of the artist's personal life while simultaneously offering a glimpse of the crisis between the past and the future of our contemporary society. Cid's work functions as an investigation of the shifts in the relationships between human beings. And, it seeks to draw attention to the rage of the characters in his photographs, often romanticized, as they struggle to articulate a sense of identity.




Felix R. Cid was born in 1976 in Madrid, Spain, where he began his studies in Fine Art and Photography. His work was soon published in different European media. After a time spent living and working in London, Cid moved to New York, where he graduated from the International Center of Photography in 2004.
